This season, Lacoste redefines plissé, blending sport, style, and effortless movement. Inspired by tennis heritage and breezy summers, the collection captures freedom in every fold.
For Spring-Summer 2025, Lacoste reimagines movement and elegance in the game with the refined art of plissé. Inspired by René Lacoste’s leisurely summers on the French coast, the collection embodies freedom, effortless style, and the dynamic energy of tennis—both on and off the court.
A Journey to the 1920s: Sun-Drenched Inspiration
Pelagia Kolotouros and Studio Lacoste draw inspiration from archival images from the 1920s, capturing a carefree, sun-drenched atmosphere. This season, plissé takes center stage—a symbol of athletic agility that also exudes an airy elegance, perfect for summer outings. Flowing skirts, structured shorts, and sculptural dresses are enriched with sharp, dynamic pleats that evoke the rhythm of a tennis rally.
Honoring Suzanne Lenglen: A Pioneer of Plissé
A special tribute is paid to Suzanne Lenglen, a tennis icon and pioneer of pleated skirts who revolutionized sportswear. In both womenswear and menswear, plissé merges sport with sensuality—sophisticated yet powerful, precise yet light. The iconic Lacoste polo is reinterpreted into pleated tennis dresses, elongated evening silhouettes, and reimagined skorts, offering a fresh take on athletic luxury.
Refined Textures and a Vibrant Color Palette
Refined textures enhance the depth of the collection: soft bouclé fabrics, lustrous satin reminiscent of the ocean’s shimmer, and lace embroideries contrasted with high-performance silicone finishes. The color palette balances natural, earthy tones with vibrant accents of yellow and green, reflecting the intensity of a sunlit tennis court.
